Remembering Mary Wilson from The Supremes

(March 6, 1944-February 8, 2021)

#Music, #MaryWilson, #TheSupremes

5 years ago today, #MaryWilson, American pop vocalist (Supremes - "Where Did Our Love Go?"), died at 76.
#RIP 🕊️🪦🎚️🕯️

Meet the Supremes is the debut studio album by the Supremes, released in late 1962 on Motown.

Stevie Chick of The Guardian, listed "Buttered Popcorn" as one of the best 10 Supremes songs. Chick expressed that Ballard was 'A bold, big-voiced belter' and described the song as 'A piece of raw, ribald soul lacking the polish that gilded their [The Supremes'] later hits'. Also, 'Ballard growls salaciously on Buttered Popcorn that her boyfriend “likes it greasy, and sticky, and salty, and gooey”, a knowingly saucy performance that somehow escaped the interference of Motown's infamous Quality Control department.' - Wikipedia
